In "HTML Snake" the video cuts just as the snake intersects with the obstacle. Presumably because the game crashed (I can't see endGame defined anywhere)

This video is featured in the main announcement so it's kinda dishonest if you ask me.


Seeing this makes me wonder if they have frontend \ backend engineers working on code, because they are selling the idea that the machine can do all that, pretty hypocritical for them if they do have devs for these roles.


As per its description on github: N8n is a Free and source-available fair-code licensed workflow automation tool.

Not really OSS.

Check out: https://www.activepieces.com/

MIT open source.


Thanks for this. We had previously evaluated n8n a year ago and couldn’t use it because it wasn’t open source and they wanted to charge us $50k/yr. I wasn’t aware of ActivePieces, will check it out.


Thank you for this recommendation. I was looking for a FOSS replacement for n8n with a similar user interface and feature set, and Activepieces seems to be a great fit.


Thanks for this recommendation!

Its the latter. The project does good work so don't want to dump on the project.

When one sees source code on Github, one assumes that its OSS, but its not and thats why I share that.

The license is a fair code license and it says "is commercially restricted by its authors" and its not clear what commercially restricted really means here.


Thanks for doing this. I found n8n 2 days ago and was working on integrating it but just found that their "license" is too much. I was going to integrate it on my platform and sell their product as an affiliate but that license is a no-go.


Why the interrogation about pointing out that it’s not FOSS?


This is so nostalgic. I actually met my cofounder on github due to a discussion on twisted vs gevent back in 2011. I had my inital code in twisted and he wrote the gevent piece. Fast forward 12 years and we still use gevent at http://plivo.com :)

Some of our initial code snippets:

# Twisted

def __protocolSendRaw(self, name, args=""): deferred = defer.Deferred() self.__EventQueue.append((name, deferred)) self.rawSend("%s %s" % (name, args)) return deferred

# Gevent

def _protocol_sendmsg(self, name, args=None, async=False): if self._closing_state: return Event() _async_res = gevent.event.AsyncResult() _uuid, event = _async_res.get() return event


Off topic: PLIVO, the norwegian term actually is a protocol used by critical services here. Thought you might find it interesting :)

> PLIVO (an abbreviation for ongoing life-threatening violence) is a procedure for cooperation between the police, the fire service, the rescue service and the healthcare system in incidents where life-threatening violence is perpetrated against several people.


Nice, did not know this.. Plivo in latvian means flying high, thats was one of the languages we named it based on.


damn i had memories of using plivo back in 2012 2013 2014


I shared my exp below on one of the comments, sharing here too - I think overall the quality is significantly poorer on GPT4 with plugins and bing browsing enabled. If you disable those, I am able to get the same quality as before. The outputs are dramatically different. Would love to hear what everyone else sees when they try the same.


I have some first hand thoughts. I think overall the quality is significantly poorer on GPT4 with plugins and bing browsing enabled. If you disable those, I am able to get the same quality as before. The outputs are dramatically different. Would love to hear what everyone else sees when they try the same.


No, while I have no hard data, the experienced quality of the default GPT-4 model feels like it has gone down tremendously for me as well. Plugins and Bing browsing have so far for me almost never worked at all. I retry these just once a week but there always seem to be technical issues.


Same for me. Kayak and BizToc plugin never work. One 'Ambition' plugin I tried, worked.


would be alarming if you had second hand thoughts...


I get mine third-hand or from the bargain-bin. Never over-pay for almost as good as new; like a car, used thoughts are just better price to value.


If something is well used and has not ended up in the bin, it is probably worth keeping...

... wasn't the best part of my wedding speech but I stand by it.


Founder of https://www.plivo.com here. We have seen similar patterns of fraud on our customers primarily in the international markets, outside the US & Canada. It typically happens on repeating number ranges that are sometimes not even in service. MaxPrice approach did not work well based on our experience as this would lead to just blocking certain destinations completely. Alternatively, what we found better was have a geo permissions related options where customers could block destinations that are never used at a network level and additionally introduce rate limits for those networks, so its not open to an attack.

This one is AudioLM modified from here https://github.com/lucidrains/audiolm-pytorch to support the music generation needs of Mulan.


Implementation of MusicLM, Google's new SOTA model for music generation using attention networks, in Pytorch.

https://github.com/lucidrains/musiclm-pytorch/blob/main/musi...


pardon my ignorance - what exactly is involved in reimplementing these models?

i assume there's only a superficial description of the architecture, and no weights to load in, so you'll have to train everything from scratch? do we even have their dataset?


Generally it's without weights, but MusicLM is also a WIP. More mature implementations have descriptions on how to train them and follow ups on small scale/crowd-sourced experiments & research[1].

Founder & CEO of Plivo - https://www.plivo.com/ here. At Plivo we offer similar API services to Twilio for voice calls and SMS. While API offerings have made it easier for developers and tech team to integrate communications into their applications, one of the challenges here is the scale at which spammers and folks using stolen credit cards are always attempting to abuse all of our platforms.

Most of us companies, work quite hard to deter these spammers at sign up and later using automated systems to analyze usage patterns including content filtering, but its quite a cat and mouse game.

Something that has worked for us has been to restrict signups to only work emails. It does have it's disadvantages but we have been able to limit the random gmail id signups at scale by bot/spammers that abuse the system for use cases like robocalling and more.
